[Ravensfort] Forest Fire?

[Paul Gilbert]

(Tap's playing in the background.....)

Yes, they gave their life and energy for a great cause. Helping stave off
the raging inferno as it swept across the field devouring the meek and
un-protected blades of grass and trees. Their numbers were many and their
losses great as they threw themselves in front of the advancing flames.

Honor and dignity demands that we honor them. Perhaps with the title of the
Award of the Smoking Cow Pie?

But, from ashes comes new growth. For their sacrifice, the new, green
blades of grass will be able to carry on the traditions of their ancestors
by evolving into mature Cow Pies at the end of their lifes so they too may
protect the populations of grass's.

Salute to the Brave!..........

(My, isn't this a deep subject?....looking for my boots.......<grin>)
